@Jenetrix I've written telegram support multiple times because my newly bought sim card number was apparently already in use or something

no answer to this day

@MiaWinter @Jenetrix telegram support is basically non-existent. if they didn't answer you within 24h after your first message – they probably never will.

i sure hope this will improve once they start making a profit and can focus on users instead of staying afloat...

@teidesu @Jenetrix personally, I only need it for some groups, I prefer signal

@MiaWinter @Jenetrix most of my online presence has been in telegram for almost 5 years already, so uhh
signal sucks because literally nobody is on there + there are like 0 features that i use daily in tg

the fact that it's not e2e by default tbh makes sense because it's cloud-first. there isn't really a way to seamlessly sync private keys across clients, and there isn't a way to recover it if you have no devices logged in left.
which are like, a big part why telegram is actually good.
